'We're Getting the Band Back Together': Stellantis Stock (NASDAQ:AVAV) Notches Up on Multiple Moves
Today proved to be a big day for legacy automaker Stellantis (STLA), which brought back a division, expanded a major leadership slot, and even brought out some less-than-exciting sales numbers. All of this together left investors a bit conflicted, but optimistic enough to send Stellantis shares rising fractionally in Wednesday afternoon's trading. Don't Miss TipRanks' Half-Year Sale Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. New CEO Antonio Filosa hit the ground running, setting up a major shift in the company's leadership by moving Tim Kuniskis to take over all American brands. Kuniskis will now be handling lead marketing and strategy duties for North America as well. Given that Kuniskis was already in charge of Ram, this makes particular sense; Ram is a major brand in the United States, and now, he handles all of the United States' brands. Stellantis is also restarting its Street and Racing Technology (SRT) division, which will bring in engineers across several brands to put more design capability into the high-performance divisions. Kuniskis declared, 'SRT is another box we needed to check. We're getting the band back together.' And Kuniskis has an ambitious schedule ahead of him, with plans to bring out 25 new products over the next year and a half. And Not a Moment Too Soon This comes at a time when Stellantis is in desperate need of something, anything, that will inject new life into the company and new cash into its coffers. Stellantis' second-quarter sales figures demonstrated as much when they were released. Stellantis' quarterly sales dropped 10% in the United States for the second quarter of 2025, reaching just 309,976 cars sold. This is actually something of a pattern at Stellantis, as reports noted that sales were down 15% against the year prior in the second quarter of 2024 as well. First-quarter sales for 2025 were down as well, down 12% against the first quarter of 2024. This is, hopefully, a development Kuniskis can turn around with his new command position over the North American brands. Is Stellantis Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on STLA stock based on four Buys, 10 Holds, and one Sell assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 48.57% loss in its share price over the past year, the average STLA price target of $11.65 per share implies 13.49% upside potential.

Adobe Stock (ADBE) Is Downgraded as Rival Figma Announces IPO
Creative software firm Adobe (ADBE) has seen its stock downgraded on the same day that rival company Figma announced plans to hold an initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

The company behind products such as Photoshop and Illustrator has had the rating on its stock lowered to a Hold-equivalent neutral by Rothschild & Co. Redburn. The firm also lowered the target price on the shares to $280 from $420, citing continued erosion from generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools and a loss of advantage in the content creation software space. ADBE stock is down 5% in afternoon trading on July 2. News of the analyst downgrade comes on the same day that Figma, last valued at $12.50 billion, announced plans to hold an IPO and trade under the ticker symbol 'FIG' on the New York big board. A date for the IPO has not yet been set, but the share offering is expected to be highly anticipated given Figma's growth rate and valuation. Ongoing Struggles Adobe has struggled to shake perceptions that its creative software products will be disrupted by AI. So far this year, ADBE stock is down 16%, pushing its 12-month loss to 31%. At the same time, Figma is also seen as a serious threat to Adobe's business moving forward. Adobe tried to acquire Figma for $20 billion. But the deal was canceled in late 2023 due to regulatory concerns in the United Kingdom (U.K.). The canceled acquisition led Adobe to pay Figma a $1 billion termination fee. Now, with Figma holding one of the hottest IPOs of the year, analysts are again reevaluating ADBE stock. Is ADBE Stock a Buy? Adobe's stock has a consensus Moderate Buy rating among 27 Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on 20 Buy and seven Hold ratings issued in the last three months. The average ADBE price target of $503.83 implies 34.71% upside from current levels.

Weak Fundamentals Facilitate Shrewd Options Trade on Intel Stock (INTC)
On the surface, semiconductor giant Intel (INTC) presents a risky narrative. Sure, INTC stock gained 14% since the start of the year, an impressive performance given that the benchmark S&P 500 is up around 5% during the same period. However, over the past 52 weeks, the security has declined by more than 26%, which is well below that of semiconductor leaders like Nvidia (NVDA). Don't Miss TipRanks' Half-Year Sale Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. Adding to the complex narrative, tense relations between the U.S. and China cloud the fundamental case for INTC stock. Recently, President Donald Trump has stepped up export controls to block the Asian juggernaut's access to advanced semiconductors. Combined with the Trump administration's tough trade policies, particularly regarding tariffs, the situation is challenging for Intel. Last year, China accounted for 29% of Intel's revenue, exposing the company to foreign policy dynamics. Still, bullish investors may be able to read between the lines. Although Trump's tariffs have rattled Wall Street, he has also consistently backed off from going full bore. Impolitely, this back-and-forth process has earned the president the nickname 'TACO' — 'Trump always chickens out,' they say. From a practical perspective, the cloud hanging over INTC stock may be a Bullish opportunity, as there's reason to believe that cooler heads will (eventually) prevail. To amplify gains from this speculative position, traders may consider diving into the options market. The Art of Probability Helps Investors Capitalize on INTC While scrolling through various financial publications can provide color and context for a particular enterprise, this approach lacks specificity. Options traders require a thesis to cover not only the magnitude component (y-axis) but also the time element (x-axis). Being correct on one but not the other leads to a suboptimal transaction, to put it mildly. Stated differently, traders must view the market in probabilistic terms, and it's here that the game of blackjack — and the concept of card counting — becomes supremely relevant. Professional blackjack players will keep a running count of the card values dealt. Low cards are assigned a value of +1, neutral cards are assigned a value of 0, and high cards are assigned a value of -1. Essentially, the idea is to raise one's bet when the odds favor the player and reduce bets when the odds favor the dealer. When done correctly, this approach provides a slight but tangible edge for the card counter, making it a superior framework compared to simply guessing randomly. However, making the strategy work requires a player to calculate two types of probabilities: derivative and conditional. The baseline success ratio is derived from the Gaussian (or standard) distribution, which indicates the likelihood of success based on all aggregate hands. However, the Markovian (or conditional) odds show the possibility of success for a specific hand. It's possible to apply this same game-theory logic to the stock market but with a catch: it's difficult, if not impossible, to conduct Markovian analyses on continuous scalar signals like stock prices. Therefore, this metric should be converted into discrete states, just like how a pro blackjack player would approach the problem. Subsequently, this is the reason why market breadth — or t he sequence of accumulative and distributive sessions — is such a vital measurement metric. As a representation of demand, market breadth is effectively binary, facilitating easy categorization and quantification. These attributes serve as the backbone of past analogs for the formulation of probabilistic analysis. Plotting a Bullish Trading Strategy for INTC Stock With Tuesday's solid performance, INTC stock is on track this week to print a 6-4-U sequence: six up weeks, four down weeks, with a positive trajectory across the 10-week period. Admittedly, converting INTC's price action into a simple binary sequence compresses its magnitude dynamism. Still, the benefit to the trader is that the process segregates price action into distinct, discrete behavioral events. These events can then be tracked to determine transitional probabilities. For instance, using the above approach, the trader can identify that the 6-4-U sequence has flashed 46 times since January 2019. In 56.52% of cases, the price action for the following week (which would coincide with the business week beginning July 7) results in upside, with a median return of 2.47%. Assuming INTC closes around $23 by the end of this week, if the implications of the 6-4-U sequence materialize, the security could reach around $23.57 relatively quickly. And if the bulls maintain control of the market, a push toward $24 over the next few weeks wouldn't be out of the question. Finally, what makes this setup so intriguing is that, as a baseline, the chance that INTC stock will rise on any given week is only 51.03%. Therefore, an incentive exists to consider a debit-based options strategy. Based on the market intelligence above, an aggressive yet rational trade would be the 22.50/23.50 bull call spread, expiring on July 18. This transaction involves buying the $22.50 call and simultaneously selling the $23.50 call, for a net debit paid of $52, representing the maximum potential loss in the trade. Should INTC stock rise through the short strike price ($23.50) at expiration, the maximum reward is $48, a payout of over 92%. Is Intel a Buy, Sell, or Hold? Turning to Wall Street, INTC stock has a Hold consensus rating based on one Buy, 26 Holds, and four Sell ratings over the past three months. The average INTC stock price target is $21.30, implying a downside risk of 6.78% over the next year. Harnessing Mathematical Probability to Trade Intel Stock While Intel's fundamentals may not appear especially compelling at first glance, the political backdrop may prove less detrimental than many fear. Adding to the bullish case for INTC stock is a statistical perspective: given the nature of Intel's demand profile, there's a reasonable basis for expecting potential upside. For bullish speculators, this could present an interesting opportunity in the options market.
